    This is a soul singer's album all the way.... And it's a happy throwback in other ways, too. [No. 122, p.57]

    The harmonies on Woman of Secret Gold might call to mind Harriet Wheeler of the Sundays to some; the chimes and cello accompaniment on the closing title track leave you wanting more.

    There’s plenty to suggest that she is still developing and searching for her true self, but there's more evidence that Flo is a captivating and striking new voice.

    You'll get lost in the lush romanticism of "Why," and the terrifically titled "I Only Like His Hat, Not Him" oozes woozy charm.

    This is not an easy album to listen to and digest. It is all the better for it.

    It's an intense record that lingers in the memory long after it’s finished.

    Georgeson was a key architect of the new Millennium's folk renaissance in indie-rock with his productions for Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, among others, and his thumbprint is all over Morrissey's songs, for better and sometimes worse.

    Morrissey has often talked about exaggerating her feelings in song to make up for her youthful lack of experience, but within the lavish Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful is a songwriter whose knack for subtle self-assertion needs bringing to the fore, not dressing up in quirk.

    Her earnestness is nearly as appealing as her prettiness, a quality apparent in both her voice and her surroundings.

    [A] rich (at times too rich) ambitious record that hints at gimlet-eyed determination rather than wispy pushover.

    One longs for something more than mere prettiness, which over the course of a whole album becomes a bit glutinous.

    This is a flowery psych-folk album that musters little more than consistent pleasantness.
